The zone

[Iceman]

Our defensive turn a round is the zone is working now. Before we got baried going zone and could not rebound using zone. Weak side rebounding is good and we are not allowing wide open shooters to score

It has come a long long ways. That much is for certain.

I think zone should be our primary defense. I agree, however, with switching to different zones and throwing in some man when some of our more challenged defenders are resting. But, the thing about zones is that good ball movement will almost always lead to an open shot, so there will be nights where the 3s may be raining down on us....

I think we have to mix in a little man. But our soft press limits the passes on offense. We don’t have to defend for long. I wish we would open in zone then switch to man. Our starters are less apt to pick up the dreaded 1st foul 2 minutes in.

Opposing coaches go right at our guys with a foul. They know that 2nd foul knocks them out of the game for the rest of the 1st half.
